BLUE BARN FARM SHARE PROGRAM

Norwell Farms is a participating farm in the Blue Barn Farm Share Program. Their mission is to provide families with no fee, farm food while providing local farms market rate compensation for the food they grow.

RAISED BED GARDEN INSTALLATIONS

In 2014, Norwell Farms installed a raised-bed vegetable garden for residents at the Friends of the South Shore Homess shelter in Norwell. Our volunteers taught the residents how to plant, tend to and harvest produce from their garden. Residents were also welcomed to the farm for several events geared for children, including a special story time and tour as well as free entrance to Norwell Day in the fall.

If you would like more information about our raised bed garden installation program, please email Nikki at nikki@norwellfarms.org

NORWELL SEED LENDING LIBRARY

The Norwell Seed Lending Library is a collaboration of Norwell Farms and the Norwell Public Library. Norwell residents can check out seeds from the Seed Lending Library and grow them in their garden. As with any library program, you have to save seeds from your garden and bring them back in the fall for others to use the following year.
